Improve your mask!
Cloth: Very Poor. Skip this. All we had at start but poor protection. Stops droplets but not aerosol. Rubs on nose so less comfortable.
Surgical: Poor. Designed for droplets, not aerosol. Loose fitting. Leaks heavily on sides. Rubs on nose so less comfortable.
KN95: Better. Respirator. Much better than surgical. Ear loops means there can be some leakage on sides. Proper fit doesn't rub nose.
N95: Best. Respirator. Headbands seal better than ear loops. Fit test for better protection.
Get a good mask that fits your face and that you will wear. KN95 and N95 can be reused. Assign different mask per day of the week. Good until dirty or elastic issues. Avoid handling front of mask after wearing.
